Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese (Shredded)
Meat
- 1 cup Pepperoni (Sliced, mini slices recommended)
Seasoning & Binder
- 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning (or a blend of oregano, basil, and garlic powder)
- 1 large Egg (Optional, helps bind ingredients)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, sliced pepperoni, Italian seasoning, and the egg if using. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute all components, ensuring the egg helps bind the mixture together.
- Form Chips: Using your hands or a spoon, scoop small portions of the mixture and flatten them into thin, round chip shapes on the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each chip for even cooking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 12 minutes or until the chips are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack or plate. This cooling step ensures they crisp up further and are ready to enjoy.
Notes
- For best results, use mini pepperoni slices or chop regular pepperoni into smaller pieces to ensure even cooking.
- The egg is optional but recommended as it helps bind the ingredients to form sturdy chips.
- Customize your Italian seasoning blend to taste by adjusting the mix of oregano, basil, and garlic powder.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain crispiness.
- For a dairy-free version, try using a vegan cheese alternative, though texture and crispness may vary.
